Exeter Chiefs name side for Ospreys friendly

Rob Baxter has named his side for the second weekend of pre-season friendlies ahead of the new Gallagher Premiership season.

Following a double header against London Scottish and Cornish Pirates two weeks ago, it is the turn of the Ospreys to make the trip to Devon to take on Baxter’s side.

Ospreys 25, Chiefs 13

Just as he was the scourge of England during the Rugby World Cup, so Welshman Dan Biggar did the same to Exeter Chiefs on their competitive return to the Champions Cup.

The Ospreys fly-half was the mastermind behind the Welsh region’s success story, plundering five penalties, a drop-goal and even converting a late try from former Exeter player Josh Matavesi.

Even then Biggar – who was named Heineken Man of the Match – could afford to miss three further chances afforded to him by the Chiefs, who fell foul of Italian referee Marius Mitrea on far too many occasions.

Exeter Chiefs switch from domestic duties to that of Europe this weekend as they mark their first outing in the Champions Cup with an away day at Ospreys today (5:30pm).

After three successive victories in the Aviva Premiership, Rob Baxter’s side will be looking to continue their good form against the Welsh region at the Liberty Stadium.

It’s some two years since Devon’s finest last mixed it with Europe’s elite - facing the likes of Glasgow Warriors, Cardiff Blues and back-to-back winners, RC Toulon in the old Heineken Cup - and their re-introduction this year promises to...

Skills coach Ricky Pellow wants Exeter Chiefs to use last week's Heineken Cup win at Cardiff Blues as the springboard for another big performance against Welsh opposition again tomorrow. A week after claiming an impressive 19-13 success at the Arms Park, the Chiefs switch their attentions from European battle to that of the LV= Cup and the impending visit of the Ospreys to Sandy Park (3pm). For a third successive season the Anglo-Welsh tournament has pitted the Chiefs against the Ospreys on Devon soil - and the home side will be hoping that past experiences continue as they have twice...

Thomas Waldrom says he is “excited” by the challenge that lies ahead after he today sealed a move to the Exeter Chiefs from Aviva Premiership rivals Leicester Tigers.

The 30-year-old England international will join the Devon club from the start of next season after recently agreeing a three-year contract with the Chiefs.

Waldrom’s switch to the Westcountry will bring to an end a successful four-year stint at Welford Road for the powerful back-row forward. Not only has he won five caps for England during his time in the East Midlands, but he has also claimed a Premiership...

It may not have been the same flowing play that had shown a week earlier in Oxford, but Exeter Chiefs were once again triumphant in their latest LV= Cup encounter against the visiting Ospreys, writes Mark Stevens.

The Chiefs moved to top of Pool One – they lead Harlequins on points difference – by overcoming the Welsh region for the second time in the space of a year at Sandy Park.

First half tries from Will Carrick-Smith and Myles Dorrian paved the way for their latest success story, whilst fly-half Henry Slade weighed in with the remainder of their points.
